Capybara Meal Coach Storyboard

Preview of your prompt

Goal: Create a 3x3 cinematic storyboard contact sheet for an animated short reel about a capybara meal-coach helping a woman track dumplings for calories. Canvas: Landscape 4:3 storyboard sheet, cream paper background, nine equal panels in a 3 columns by 3 rows grid, thin black borders, white caption strips under every frame. Warm cozy evening kitchen setting with olive-green cabinets, tiled backsplash, window with night city lights, pink props, soft practical lamp light, shallow depth of field, polished 3D animated film look. Main characters: A friendly anthropomorphic capybara coach wearing a black zip hoodie with hot-pink stripes, pink headband, pink whistle on a lanyard, rounded muzzle, calm judging expression. A young woman with messy bright red hair in a loose bun, cream cable-knit sweater, seated at a round wooden kitchen table; her face is intentionally obscured by a flat soft-edged tan/brown square privacy mask in panels where it faces camera. Keep the capybara expressive and readable. Key props: One large plate of pelmeni dumplings, one pink mug with a pale heart, pink cloth napkins, fork and spoon, a whiteboard on an easel or wall with bold Russian calorie tracking notes, pink marker, small magnets and sticky note, potted plants and kitchen utensils. Visible storyboard text: Use exactly 9 caption strips, numbered 1 through 9, with timecodes and shot notes in a handwritten storyboard style. The whiteboard must show this Russian text exactly: ПЕЛЬМЕНИ x 5\n= 425 ККАЛ\nДЕФИЦИТ OK ✓. Caption strip text should be legible and similar to: 1. [0:00--0:02] WIDE - Establish - Static - Warm practicals + soft fill; 2. [0:02--0:04] MEDIUM - Reveal - Push in - Backlight + rim; 3. [0:04--0:06] MEDIUM - Judge - Subtle push - Key + rim; 4. [0:06--0:08] CLOSE-UP - Take - Push in - Steam emphasized; 5. [0:08--0:10] OTS - Write - Slight push - Soft key + board glow; 6. [0:10--0:12] MEDIUM - Teach - Pan right - Balanced key + rim; 7. [0:12--0:14] CLOSE-UP - React - Hold - Soft key + catchlight; 8. [0:14--0:16] MEDIUM TWO-SHOT - Share - Static - Warm key + rim; 9. [0:16--0:18] WIDE - Wrap - Slight dolly out - Warm practicals + rim. Panel-by-panel layout, exactly 9 panels: Panel 1 wide establishing shot: woman alone at table about to eat dumplings, pink mug and napkin visible, green kitchen at night. Panel 2 medium reveal: woman foreground left with spoon, capybara coach appears in a glowing doorway behind her. Panel 3 medium judge: capybara stands beside seated woman, looking sideways at her plate with a suspicious coach expression. Panel 4 close-up: capybara paw uses pink tongs or marker-like utensil to pick one dumpling from steaming plate, woman hands nearby, pink mug left. Panel 5 over-the-shoulder from behind capybara: capybara writes on whiteboard with pink marker while woman watches from side. Panel 6 medium teach: capybara points at the whiteboard text with pink marker while woman listens, with capybara face partly obscured by a tan/brown privacy mask block if facing camera. Panel 7 close-up reaction: woman leaning on clasped hands, red hair filling frame, face covered by tan/brown square mask, cozy kitchen blur behind. Panel 8 medium two-shot: capybara and woman sit together at table sharing dumplings, each holding a dumpling utensil, plate centered, pink bowl and mug visible. Panel 9 wide wrap: both characters at round table in full kitchen, whiteboard visible at right with the calorie note, pendant lamp above, window behind. Visual style: High-end 3D animated family-film aesthetic, warm cinematic lighting, soft rim lights, subtle bloom, realistic food steam, saturated olive greens and pink accents, consistent character designs across panels, storyboard production-board composition. Constraints: Include exactly 9 panels and exactly 9 caption strips. Do not add extra characters. Keep all panels coherent as a single timeline reference for video animation. Maintain legible whiteboard text and visible Russian lettering; avoid logos or watermarks.
